Species- Specific Genes And Good Mutations; A New Approach to Test Evolution

Nasser-eddinRatebDweikFaculty of Science & Agriculture, JerashUniversity,[email protected]

Abstract

The rate of evolution is defined as a measurement of the change in an evolutionary

lineage over time. Paleontologists depend mainly on fossils for measuring evolution

rate. If we assume evolution is a fact, nevertheless, this method is not accurate,

because it does not take into consideration some uncertainties like; uncertainty in

divergence time, ancestral population size, generation time, identity of common

ancestors, and first of all, incidence of good (favorable) mutations. As far as, no

scientist had identified and tested a specific good mutation, then good mutations

remain theoretical rather than demonstrable concepts. Validating theoretical

concept needs strong tangible or testable evidence.Geneticists have identified certain percentages of species- specific or species-

specific genes for some organisms. Evolution of a new organism or transformation

of a certain organ needs changing of all related species- specific genes. Scientists

have identified around 3500 species- specific or species- specific genes in humans.

Those genes account for 16% - 17% of the total human genome.

To calculate the minimum number of hominids that have lived (and reached

maturity) until the presumed human evolution was achieved, we have to multiply

the number of species- specific genes that makes human a human with the good

(good) mutation rate (assumed, no bad mutations occur to damage or reverse any

positively mutated gene). This can be represented in the following equation: 3500 x

1 billion = 3500 billion hominids. This figure is around seventy times more than

estimated when rely on related fossils. This result imposes a challenge to evolution

theory.Key words: evolution rate, testing evolution, species- specific genes, unique genes.

Genetic Analysis and in Vitro Selection for Drought Tolerance in Wheat (Triticum

aestivum L.)

ABSTRACT

Selection for drought tolerance of fifteen wheat genotypes (5parents and their10 F1

hybrids) was performed under field and laboratory conditions and the obtained

data were analyzed by diallel analysis. Under laboratory conditions, three different

callus induction media were used to determine the optimum hormone balance for

callus induction from wheat mature embryos and also to study the genetic response

of genotypes under study to callus induction. MS media supplemented with

different concentrations of poly ethylene glycol (PEG) were used to evaluate the

obtained calli for drought tolerance .Then the drought stressed calli were then

transferred to plant regeneration medium for studying their ability to

regeneration.

All characters showed that (D) parameter was smaller in magnitude than (H1)

parameter under both conditions except main spike length (cm) under normalconditions and plant height (cm) under drought stress conditions, callus primary

fresh weight (mg) and plant regeneration frequency, so the ratio (H1/D)1/2

was

more than unity indicating over dominance effect controlling all characters except

these previously mentioned characters, where it were controlled with partial

dominance effect. High heritability estimates in broad sense were obtained for all

characters, while Narrow-sense heritability was high for main spike length (cm)

under both conditions , days to heading ,number of spikes/plant and 1000-grain

weight (g) under normal conditions ,plant height (cm), number of spikelets/spike

and main spike yield (g) under drought stress conditions , callus induction

frequency, callus primary fresh weight (mg) and plant regeneration frequency,

suggesting early generation selection for these characters should be effective, while

other characters under study should be selection for them at late generations. The

results on mid and better parent heterosis under normal and drought stressconditions represent desired (negative significant) heterotic effects for days to

heading and plant height in most crosses and significant positive heterotic effects

for the other characters, while negative significant heterosis effects relative to mid

and better parent were prescence in in vitro studied characters . Under drought

stress conditions, Parents Variety,(Giza168) was the best specific combiner for

days to heading, number of spikelets/spike,main spike yield (g) and grain

yield/plant (g) under both conditions and plant height (cm) and 1000-grain weigh

(g) under drought stress conditions. While, under drought stress conditions

,varieties Gemmeiza10 and Misr1 were the best specific combiner for main spike

length (cm) and number of spikes/plant ,respectively.

Concerning specific combining ability, hybrids Gemmiza10xLine24 and

Sids13xGemmiza10 were the best specific combiners for grain yield /plant (g) and

1000 grain weight (g), respectively under both conditions. While, under droughtstress conditions, hybrids Giza168 x Misr1, Sids13 x Misr1, Gemmiza10xMisr1

and Gemmiza10 x Line24 were the best specific combiners for plant height (cm),

number of spikelets/spike, days to heading and (main spike length (cm) and main

spike yield (g)), respectively.

The differences between the three callus induction media were significant in all

characters except in (CIF %),indicating that this character is genotype dependent

and M2 media was the best media for callus induction .

From the obtained data ofin vitro

selection for drought tolerance it could beconcluded that the parental cultivars ,Giza168 and Sids13 and their hybrid

(Giza168 xSids13) were the most drought tolerant genotypes ,while the parent

Misr1 was the most drought sensitive. A set of ISSR markers for drought tolerance

and (BSA) approach were used in molecular studies. Crosses between Misr1

(sensitive for drought tolerance) x Giza 168 (drought tolerant) was made to obtain

F1and F2plants for performing (BSA) . DNA extracted from the two parents, F1's

and from bulked F2 sensitive and tolerant extremes for drought stress. Five

tolerant molecular markers appeared in positive molecular marker for drought

tolerance, where three of them were in primer HB14 at 300bp,466 bp and 590

bp,one in primerHB9 at 320 bp and one in primer HB15 at 316bp . These results

confirmed the importance of primer HB9, HB14 and HB15 for applying of them in

discovery of positive molecular markers to drought tolerance in bread wheat.

These molecular markers could be used for identify bread wheat genotypes that

can be used in molecular breeding programs for drought tolerance, as well as forearly discovering the drought tolerance genotypes that can be cultivated in areas of

lower water supply.

Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) is the third largest disease causes of death. The total

of pulmonary TB cases in Indonesia 2014 was recorded 324.539 of 245 million

people (WHO, 2016). Directly-Observed Treatment Short-course (DOTS) Program

had been implemented by the Indonesian Government since 1995. The treatment

of TB sufferers is continuously performed at least 6 months. It becomes

a stressor for family members who take care of TB sufferers. There has been no

attempt to treat the stressor. This research aims to recognize the influence of

therapeutic communication on the cortisol levels decrease of family members

who take care of TB sufferers.

The research design was pre experiment with one group pre post test approach.

Experimental units were family members who took care of TB sufferers as many

as 10 respondents with the total sampling techniques. The variable was Cortisolwhich was measured before and after the therapeutic communication, by taking of

blood sample. The data of cortisol was analyzed by using the paired t test. Result:

before the therapeutic communication was done, cortisol levels of the respondents

were in the normal range, with the average 12.06 g/dl. The Cortisol levels of the

respondents after implementing therapeutic communication were decreased, with

an average of 9.37 g/dl. Therefore, there is a decrease (delta) of 2.69 g/dl after

the therapeutic communication was implemented. From the paired t test result was

obtained that p = 0.0005, there was a significant difference in cortisol levels before

and after having therapeutic communication. Communication is an essential

component which must be owned by the nurse. Professional nurses should be able

to improve therapeutic communication skills to decrease and overcome stress of

the family members who take care of TB sufferers.

Key word: therapeutic communication, cortisol

ABSTRACTManagerial coaching has been reported as a successful leadership development

approach that has potential benefit for nurses. It also was recognized as a powerful

tool to promote personal and professional development in the nursing profession.

Therefore, there is an increasing needs for reliable and valid assessment tools to

measure the coaching skills of nurses in managerial positions. This study reviewed

and revised an existing instrument created by Park, McLean, and Yang (2007)

which measured coaching skills in business and industrial organization. In order to

adapt the original instrument to the nursing profession, this study firstly identified

the five primary dimensions of the managerial coaching skills of head nurses

through both qualitative and quantitative approaches. Review experts and a pilot

study were then performed to ensure the reliability and validity, and validated the

revised instrument of managerial coaching skills. The results of this study indicatethe revised managerial caching skill instrument demonstrates good reliability and

validity for measuring the managerial coaching skill of head nurses in a hospital

setting. Hospitals can administer and use the revised instrument as an assessment

tool to evaluate their nurse managers coaching skills, and identify the areas for

improvement. This allow the head nurses to more effectively manage and support

the staffs development.

This descriptive research design was conducted to develop caregivers knowledge

about stroke for stroke caregivers. The target group in this study is caregivers of

stroke patients at Neurological outpatient unit of Muhammadiyah Hospital

Palembang, South Sumatera, Indonesia. Content validity was tested by five experts

and Reliability was conducted in sample of 30 caregivers from the target

population.The reliability was tested using SPSS and internal consistency would be

analyzed by KR-20 (Kuder-Richardson 20). The finding of content validity showedthat stroke disease dimensions there were four items not agreed by experts I-CVIs

= 0.80, however another items was agreed by all experts I-CVIs = 1.00. Mean of I-

CVI for all experts were 0.92. The experts mentioned that the stroke dimensions

were clear and relevant to assess caregiver knowledge about stroke. In reliability

test, the mean score was 11.73 (SD=4.75) with variance 22.55 and KR-20 was 0.75.

In conclusion,the caregivers knowledge about stroke has good properties to assess

the level of knowledge about stroke for stroke caregiver. Nurses who work with

stroke patients on inpatient unit can use the tool to assess caregiver knowledge

before discharge at home. Further study should examine the skill of caregiver to

prepare how to take care of stroke patient at home.

Abstract

Background: with the development of information and communication technology,

using the internet as a source to obtain health information is increasing. Nursing

students as a future healthcare provider should have the skills of locating,

evaluating and using of online health information. This will enable them to help

their patients and families to make informed decisions.

Aim: this study has two-fold aim. The first is to assess the eHealth literacy among

nursing students in Jordan. The second aim is to explore the factors that have an

effect on the eHealth literacy.

Methods: this is descriptive cross sectional survey that conducted in two

universities in Jordan; public and private one. A number of 541 students fromboth universities were completed the eHEALS scale, which is a instrument

designed to measure the eHealth literacy. Some additional personal and

demographical variable were collected to explore its effect on eHealth literacy.

Results: Students have a high perceived level of e-Health literacy (M=3.62,

SD=0.58). They are aware of the available online health resources, know how to

search, locate, and use these resources. But, they do not have the skills to evaluate

these resources and cannot differentiate between the high and low quality

resources. The results showed as well that type of university, type of students'

admission, academic level, students' skills of using internet, and the perception of

usefulness and importance of internet have an effect on the eHealth literacy. While

the age, gender, GPA, and the frequency of using internet was no significant

factors.

Conclusion: This study represents a baseline reference for the eHealth literacy inJordan. Students have some skills of eHealth literacy and other skills need to be

improved. Nursing educators and administrators should integrate and incorporate

the skills of eHealth literacy in the curriculum.

ABSTRACT

Cancer is the major burden of disease worldwide. Each year, tens of millions of

people are diagnosed with cancer around the world, and more than half of the

patients eventually die from it. In many countries, cancer ranks the second most

common cause of death following cardiovascular diseases. With significant

improvement in treatment and prevention of cardiovascular diseases, cancer has

or will soon become the number one killer in many parts of the world. The aim of

this study was to optimize the means to support and diagnose early people living

with solid cancers through blood exploration using flow cytometry. The techniques

used included; complete blood count (CBC), flow cytometry and microscopy slides

(smear). The data obtained from the microscopic analysis of blood cells searching

for alterations after smear colored blade by May Grnwald Giemsa (MGG),

revealed changes in size (anisocytosis) and shape (poikilocytosis) of erythrocytes

with total absence of neutrophils. The main blood pathologies associated with these

types of cancer obtained after CBC were: hypoglobinemia (30.76%), blood-concentration (18.75%) which marked the character of hypochromic blood tissue

(true anemia), monocytosis (12.82%) and erythrocytopenia (12.82%). The decrease

in the number of granules of polymorphonuclear cells and changes in the shapes of

nuclei (lobularity) were observed in most patients, using the flow cytometry

technique. Thus, alterations of blood tissue in solid cancers were identified and an

algorithm for their exploitation has been developed to contribute to the

understanding of natural history of solid cancer.

on arrhythmia knowledge acquisition among nursing students in Jordan.

Method: randomized controlled design involving a pretest-posttest was used in this

study. Nursing students were allocated into experimental group (n=47) who

attended a simulation about some arrhythmia scenarios, and a control group

(n=44) who received a traditional lecture about the same topic.

Results: Paired t test showed that the posttest mean arrhythmia's knowledge scorewas significantly higher than that at the pretest in both experimental and control

group. However, participants in the experimental group demonstrated

significantly higher knowledge of arrhythmia in the posttest compared to those in

the control group.

Conclusion: Despite that both modalities were effective in improving the subjects'

knowledge acquisition of arrhythmia; the simulation is more superior and

significantly improve students' arrhythmia knowledge.

Infection with the intracellular parasite Toxoplasma gondii exhibits a worldwide

distribution. Such disease is known to cause abortions and serious clinical

complications on the fetus, neonate, and immunocompromised individuals,

resulting in considerable clinical and economic effects. The most effective measure

for controlling toxoplasmosis and minimizing the harms caused by the parasite is

prompt diagnosis and treatment. Meanwhile, vaccination is an efficient tool for

preventing the occurrence of the infection. Therefore, development of a novel

antigen for diagnostic or vaccination purposes is important.

Significant efforts have been made to acquire such antigen. As a result, developing

multi-epitope-based antigens using software-based prediction tools and molecular

techniques may provide a novel and alternative means for acquiring less expensiveand more accurate diagnostic kits or potential vaccine candidates. The advantage

of the multi-epitope antigen lies in the capacity to combine epitopes from different

stages of the parasite. Thereby, this approach would serve as a promising and

valuable strategy to overcome the antigen complexity of the T. gondii life cycle.

In this study, a single synthetic gene of approximately 456 bp in size, which

encodes potential epitopes of T. gondii antigens, was successfully constructed using

gene assembly PCR. The constructed gene, designated as USM.TOXO1, was then

cloned into a pET32a(+) expression vector and transformed into BL21 (DE3)pLysS E. coli Competent cells. The entire protein was successfully expressed and

purified. Subsequently, the immunoreactivity of this antigen was evaluated by

developing immunoglobulin G (IgG) enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay

(ELISA) and Western blot analysis using human sera. Meanwhile, the

immunogenicity was tested in BALB/c mice.

The usefulness of USM.TOXO1 for the diagnosis of toxoplasmosis through ELISA

was tested on 151 sera from positive T. gondii patients and 96 sera from negative

patients for the detection of specific anti-T. gondii IgG. The USM.TOXO1 ELISA

presented an 85.43% sensitivity, 81.25% specificity, 87.76% positive predictive

value, and 78% negative predictive value.

Immunization of the BALB/c mice with USM.TOXO1 generated a strong mixed

Th1/Th2 response polarized toward the IgG1 antibody isotype. Additionally,

analysis of cytokine profiles following in vitro stimulation revealed the significant

synthesis of IFN- cytokines, but not IL-4, in the immunized mice compared withthe control group.

In conclusion, USM.TOXO1 is a potential serodiagnostic marker for the detection

of T. gondii infection in humans, as well as a promising vaccine candidate that

elicits protective immunity in BALB/c mice. The proven immunoreactivity and

immunogenicity of USM.TOXO1 can serve as a premise for the further use of

epitope-based antigens in the routine diagnosis and immunoprevention of human

and animal toxoplasmosis.
